That's right.
There comes a time when one must down size their collection.
I really did want to finish the white car project, but with uni (hopefully) being around the corner, and having the Moke as well, it's not going to look like it will be done any time in the near future.

Here's a brief list of what will be on offer:

- 1412 Graham Russell Stroker.
136hp; 114 ft/lbs. Definitely a weapon of an engine.
Fitted with Quaife LSD, straight cut drop gears, Swiftune rockers.
GR exhaust & inlet manifolds. 45DCOE.

- 7.5" disc brake assembly

- Goodridge braided brake & clutch line kit

- Freshly painted White MiniMatic body shell.
Shell comes with sliding window doors, 850 bootlid.
Will be rolling as soon as I finish getting some trailing arms on the rear subframe. Will most likely sell the shell with the 7.5" brakes unless sold earlier.

- 10x7 Mini Miglia wheels. Brand new. With A032R tyres. Never used.
Comes with nuts, centre caps. No, won't fit under innocenti flares.



There's lots of other general accumulated parts, I'll list these as I find them/can think of them.

I'll also add prices when I have worked out what I would like for each item.
In the mean time, feel free to PM me with offers.

When I was at uni, i got more done on my cars than ever before.
Anything to escape consolidated balance sheets, auditing, financial instruments and all that other effing useless crap i have never used since.
Needless to say, i only scraped thru.................... :roll:

Hi willy,

You have put in too much effort and spent too much money on it to give up now. Sell the moke but keep the mini! put it in the corner of the garage and keep it. I agree with AEG163job, I had lots more time to work on my car during uni and that was whilst working a part time job as well.

You have put in a lot of time and effort with minis, worked hard to buy all parts motors etc. I believe you deserve to build yourself this car!!!!!! :D


.......but I will give you a grand or two for the motor!!!!! :wink:

Ah pity...

I go to uni full time and work a part time job and still find some time to work on my cars.

Sure it'll take a while but you do get 3 month long holidays at the end of the year (unless you're working fulltime during that time).

Very true speedy. But in my case they only do 1st year engie subjects in summer school. So you if you do engineering you may not get the 1st summer, but you'll get every summer after that! :)
